After washing everything, Yan Xi took out the flour he had bought earlier and went to his neighbor's house to buy a few eggs and some sugar.
Mash the raspberries and grind them into a paste. Add sugar and mix into flour. Knead into pieces and steam.
Chop wild onions and shepherd's purse, fry them with eggs, add them to the dough and knead well.
Yan Xi added some chili pepper while he wasn't paying attention.
Heat oil in a pan and fry until both sides are golden brown.
Yan Xi was busy in the kitchen. Mu Beichen really wanted to help, but he didn't know how to do anything and could only stand there uselessly.
The raspberry pastries are freshly baked, and the egg and shepherd's purse pancakes are fried one by one.
The fragrance is refreshing.
Gulp...
Mu Beichen swallowed and stared at the delicious food on the table.
His eyes were too hot, Yan Xi noticed it, smiled and waved at him, "Come over and taste it for me, how about it?"
Mu Beichen looked at him, walked forward slowly, and when he was about to reach out to grab it, he found that his hands were a little dirty, so he ran out again.
Yan Xi was confused, "Hey? Beichen? Why did you go out?"
Soon, Mu Beichen ran back, his hands were clean and still had water droplets on them.
Yan Xi was slightly stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood and smiled faintly, "Actually, you don't have to use your hands, you can use chopsticks."
As he said that, he took out a pair of chopsticks and handed it to him.
Mu Beichen glanced at the chopsticks and looked at him with confused eyes, at a loss.
Yan Xi understood immediately after taking a look, and followed the example by picking up a piece of cake and putting it into his mouth.
Mu Beichen stared at his movements closely, and picked up the chopsticks clumsily, imitating him, but failed to pick up anything the first time.
Yan Xi gave him an encouraging smile.
Mu Beichen adjusted his strength and this time he picked it up, his hands were a little shaky, but at least he managed to eat the raspberry pastry.
It's soft and sticky, with a sweet and sour taste, and is very delicious.
Mu Beichen's eyes lit up.
Yan Xi pointed at the pancake again and said, "Try this pancake again."
Mu Beichen nodded.
The pancake was a little heavy, so he increased his strength, picked it up and took a bite.
The collision of the flavors of wild onions, shepherd's purse and eggs was irresistible. Mu Beichen couldn't wait to take another bite, but this time it was so spicy that he almost vomited it out. However, when his eyes met Yan Xi's expectant eyes, he pretended to be calm and swallowed it in one gulp.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Yan Xi was completely dumbfounded. She asked persistently, "How does it taste? Do you like it?"
Mu Beichen endured the burning sensation in his mouth, looked at him calmly, and nodded.
Seeing this, Yan Xi fell silent for a long time. He turned his back and continued frying, whispering, "As long as you like it, there are still a lot here. Eat a few more."
When Mu Beichen heard this, he looked at the plate of noodles, then looked at Yan Xi, clenched his fists, and ate a few in silence, ready to die.
Although it was very uncomfortable, the noodles tasted really good.
Yan Xi stole a glance at him and found that he was still eating, and eating so happily, and her mood plummeted.
After all the pancakes were fried, the two of them lit candles and ate them with relish in the yard.
Mu Beichen ate a little and stopped.
Yan Xi looked at the many cakes and breads left on the table and asked in confusion, "Are you full?"
Mu Beichen looked at the things on the table, swallowed his saliva, but lowered his eyes and nodded.
Yan Xi: “…”
How could that be possible? He ate so many steamed bread last night, and when I brought him food earlier, he devoured it like a glutton. He must have a big appetite, so why would he stop eating after eating so little?
Yan Xi paused chewing, staring at him motionlessly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Mu Beichen shook his head, his dark eyes were very calm and frank, without any trace of lying.
That's strange...
Yan Xi was a little puzzled.
"Forget it. Since I'm full, I can't eat that much. I'll save the rest for tomorrow morning."
After Yan Xi ate until he was half full, he carried the things into the kitchen and prepared to put them in the cabinet and seal it tightly to avoid attracting rats and cockroaches.
However, when he opened it, two sweet potatoes came straight into his sight.
Yan Xi was stunned. He had only cooked six in the morning, ate one himself, and gave the rest to Mu Beichen.
He thought Mu Beichen had finished eating, but there was still so much left.
So when he was not at home, he ate three sweet potatoes, and for dinner he only had three bread and three cakes.
The flatbreads and pastries are so small, will they fill you up?
Yan Xi packed up and walked into the yard.
The young boy was looking curiously at the snails and loaches in the wooden barrel. When he heard his footsteps, he looked up.
Yan Xi bent down slightly, "Beichen, don't you like sweet potatoes?"
Mu Beichen shook his head.
"I thought you didn't like it. You didn't even finish the sweet potato I gave you this morning."
Hearing this, Mu Beichen pursed his lips and said in a low voice, stuttering a little, "Here, here you go...eat."
"Give it to me?" Yan Xi was stunned.
Mu Beichen nodded.
"So you're worried that I won't have enough to eat, so you're saving it for me?"
Mu Beichen shook his head, then nodded, "I... no, I can't eat too much."
"Why?" Yan Xi was completely confused. Is there something wrong with the male protagonist that prevents him from eating too much?
